Before we move on to the next
round of benchmarks, lets wind up the PCMark2002 segment
with the HD Score...
PCMark2002 "HDD":
This time around the AK35GT2/R
was able to pull ahead, aided by the High-Point HPT372 RAID
controller.
Clearly each test system had
it's strengths and weaknesses versus each other, making for
an excellent overall comparison test bed. Will the
AK35GT2/R and it's stronger CPU and HD
performance prevail? Or will the MSI and DFI systems hold the lead
with their superior memory performance? Let's get to
it and see.
Direct X with MadOnion's 3DMark2001:
With the first round of
3DMark2001SE, we are possibly seeing the results of the
lesser memory performance the AK35GT2/R posted compared to
the competition. At 800x600x32, the Shuttle board
couldn't surpass the DFI with the KT266A chipset. But
what will happen as we increase the load at 1024x768x32?
Well now, the AK35GT2/R stepped
up to the plate and placed a solid second to the MSI KT3
Ultra. This time around the DFI couldn't keep up with
the faster chipset, losing ground by over 100 points to the
Shuttle system.
Don't you worry, we're not done
stressing these boards yet. Next we're going to really
work them out with some Winstone lovin'.
